For instance, in war, it is necessary to know the capabilities of your enemy and their positions, but it is not sufficient to win a battle.
Being in a position of leadership is necessary to lead an organization, but it is not sufficient to get people moving towards a common goal.

A new definition of leadership

Leadership is a process of social influence that works to increase the efforts of others in pursuit of a common goal.
